"Awang, look!"
Chen Dazhuang discovered something and pointed to the ground outside the cave in front.
Chen Wang looked and saw black bear footprints on the ground.
There were no such footprints the last time they came.
Apparently, during these two days, the black bear came back from somewhere and entered the cave.
Chen Wang squatted down and touched Dahei's head to calm it down, and at the same time untied the noose around its neck.
The black bear in the burrow is probably not asleep yet, so you need to be prepared to wake it up.
Chen Dazhuang also followed suit to comfort the marshal and untie the noose.
The two hunting dogs were also very human-like and quieted down, but they still stared at the cave entrance vigilantly.
Then, Chen Wang stood alert with his shotgun in hand, while Chen Dazhuang, like last time, looked for firewood and lit a fire.
The area around the cave entrance had been cleaned last time, so all we needed to do was light a fire.
After completing the preparations, Chen Wang also replaced two deer bullets.
Chen Dazhuang quietly approached the cave entrance and winked at Chen Wang.
Chen Wang held the shotgun in both hands and pointed it at the cave entrance. He nodded slightly, indicating that they could begin.
So Chen Dazhuang picked up his hunting rifle and fired a shot into the cave.
The last time I hunted bears, I only had a shotgun, and I had to make sure I had enough bullets before I could use wood to knock on the tree trunk to make noise.
Now that I have two shotguns, I don't have to do that anymore.
The sound of gunfire is more effective in deterring animals than anything else.
"Bang!!!"
A dull gunshot rang out, and Chen Dazhuang immediately stepped back, holding his gun ready to fire again at any time.
He also had a double-barreled shotgun, and there was still a bullet in it.
"roar……"
The roar of a black bear came from the cave.
The hair on the Marshal and Dahei's necks stood up, and they bared their teeth and growled at the cave entrance, as if they were ready to pounce at any time.
Chen Wang gripped the shotgun tightly in his hand, put his finger on the trigger, and waited with bated breath.
The entrance to the cave is not big, just enough for a black bear to crawl in.
Similarly, if a black bear wants to get out, it can only stick its head out first.
"throat!"
After another bear roar, the black bear's huge head emerged from the cave.
Chen Wang pulled the trigger without hesitation.
This time, he chose to fire two bullets at once to ensure an absolute hit rate.
Two deer bullets hit the black bear's head directly, and the pellets inside spread out in a jet-like manner. The powerful destructive force caused the black bear's head to explode with streaks of blood.
The penetrating power of deer bullets is not as good as that of single-barreled bullets. For prey with strong defense, it is sometimes impossible to kill them with one shot like a single-barreled bullet.
But at such a close distance, deer bullets can not only greatly improve the hit rate, but also have amazing lethality against prey with low defense.
Black bears have thick skin and the fat parts may have strong defensive capabilities.
However, at this moment, with two buckshot bullets hitting the head, it was impossible to survive.
The black bear's body was still in the cave, but its head was lying in a pool of blood. Its entire head looked as if pieces of flesh had been wiped off, making it look a bit creepy.
“Got it!”
Chen Dazhuang grinned.
Chen Wang also took a deep breath.
The two dogs pounced on the black bear and bit the flesh and hair on its head and neck.
"Marshal, go away!"
"Big Black!"
The two men walked over quickly and drove the hounds away.
The black bear is already dead, so there is no need to use hunting dogs to bother it. If the fur is damaged, the price will be greatly reduced.
A hunting rifle shoots at the head, which has no effect on the price of the fur. Generally speaking, a complete prey skin does not include the head.
As the entrance of the cave was rather narrow, the two men took great pains, even using a hatchet to enlarge the entrance, before they were able to drag the black bear out.
Then, Chen Dazhuang immediately took out a dagger, pierced the black bear's throat, cut through its fur, and then ripped open its belly.
Soon, Chen Dazhuang picked out a brass-colored bear gall, which was the size of two fists.
"Awang, you are a coward. What a pity."
"Not bad, where can I get so much gold? Give it to me."
Chen Wang said with a smile.
"Too!"
Chen Dazhuang handed him the bear gall.
Chen Wang took off the medicine basket behind him, first poured out all the Gastrodia elata inside, then took out a cloth bag from it, carefully took the bear gall, wrapped it in the cloth bag, and then put it back into the medicine basket.
"Put these Gastrodia elata in your sack later. It's full."
"Okay, I'll take these entrails out first."
"Um!"
After removing the internal organs, Chen Dazhuang cut the bear's heart and liver into two halves and threw them to the two dogs.
Unfortunately, the two dogs just sniffed but had no intention of eating it.
"My dad said that few dogs would eat bear's internal organs. It seems that Marshal and Dahei don't eat this either."
Chen Dazhuang said with some regret.
"It's okay. Cut two pieces of good meat and feed them. They gave them a warning in advance, so they have contributed."
Chen Wang smiled and said.
Chen Dazhuang nodded, cut two pieces of good meat from the belly and threw them to the two dogs.
The two dogs didn't pick and choose this time, they just buried their heads and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Hunting dogs cannot be raised as pet dogs. They are basically fed raw meat, otherwise they will lack wildness and bloodiness.
But these days every household is short of meat, and few families can afford to raise hunting dogs.
"There must be more than 300 kilograms left. What should we do? Should we go back to the village and call for help?"
Chen Dazhuang looked at the remaining black bear meat and scratched his head.
